Like some others who replied, I think it's a bad idea to close the 
mailing list.

The github pages are fine to discuss potential problems, ask for new 
features, etc.

However, a ML is IMO better to ask questions about the usage of the 
software, and get replies from the community *or* from the maintainers, 
if appropriate.
